Q:

1. What is the concept of taqdeer and Allah knowing and deciding our taqdeer?

If dua can change taqdeer, then does Allah not know of the dua or is dua bad? But we are supposed to ask in dua.

I feel like when I make dua that many times it does get accepted and come through, but most of the time it later backfires and the same thing that I was given causes me more pain and suffering.
